Evaluatie Regeling brede weersverzekering

The agricultural sector has limited opportunities to avoid risks of weather events for open field crops.However, damage caused by extreme weather conditions (such as heavy rain or hail) can have amajor impact on the financial position of the farms and the whole agricultural sector.Before 2002 the Dutch government regularly compensated damage caused by extreme weatherevents. Nowadays the government encourages farmers to participate in a weather insurance schemeby granting a premium subsidy, thus trying to create a commercial market for weather insurances.This report evaluates the premium subsidy. The core questions are first if the subsidy has led to acommercially attractive weather insurance scheme and second if the premium subsidy has reduced thenumber of requests for compensation and the amount. The answer to the first question is no; due to alack of empirical evidence, there is no clear objective answer to the second question.

The answer to the first question is no; due to alack of empirical evidence, there is no clear objective answer to the second question. In de open teelten van de agrarische sector zijn er weinig mogelijkheden om risico’s dieweersinvloeden kunnen hebben op de productie te voorkomen. Schade als gevolg van een extremeweersomstandigheid (zoals hevige regenval of hagel) kan echter een grote invloed hebben op definanciële positie van de bedrijven en de sector als geheel.Vóór 2002 sprong de overheid geregeld bij in het vergoeden van schade als gevolg van extremeweersomstandigheden. Om een commerciële markt te creëren stimuleert de overheid tegenwoordigvia een premiesubsidie deelname aan een brede weersverzekering. Dit rapport evalueert ten eerste ofdeze premiesubsidie heeft geleid tot een commercieel aantrekkelijke verzekering en ten tweede ofdeze subsidie ertoe heeft geleid dat het aantal en de omvang van de verzoeken tot schadevergoedingis verminderd. Het antwoord op de eerste vraag is nee; het antwoord op de tweede vraag is moeilijkobjectief vast te stellen op basis van empirische gegevens. nl Wageningen Economic Research application/pdf https://research.wur.nl/en/publications/evaluatie-regeling-brede-weersverzekering 10.18174/390180 https://edepot.wur.nl/390180 Life Science Wageningen University & Research
